STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
This document presents the City of Auburn's Stormwater Management Program`(SWMP). Preparation and
maintenance of this SWMP is required by-the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) as a
condition of the Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit (the Phase II Permit), The
Phase II permit covets discharges from regulated small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s),
Based on criteria outlined in the Phase II Permit, Ecology considers the City of Auburn to be an operator of
a small MS4, and therefore required to obtain permit coverage.
Each municipality's permit for discharging stormwater is.designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants,
protect water quality, and meet the requirements of the federal Clean V ater Act.
Appendix A includes acronyms and definitions from the Pernut to help the reader understand the City's
Stormwater Management Program.
1.2 Regulatory Background
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program is a requirement of the
federal Clean Water Act, which is intended to protectand restore watery for "fishable, swimmable" uses. The
federal Environmental Protection Agericy (EPA) has delegated permit authorityto state environmental
agencies, and these agencies can set permit conditions in accordance with and in addition to the minimum
federal requirements. In Washington, the NTDES-delegated permit authority is the Washington State
Department of Ecology (Ecology).
Municipalities with a population of over 100,000 (as of the 1990 census) have been designated as Phase I
communities and must comply with Ecology's Phase I NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit. With Auburn's
1990 census falling below the 100,000 threshold, the City must complywith the Phase 11 Municipal
Stormwater Permit. About 100 other municipalities in Washington must now complywith the Phase II
Permit, along with Auburn, as operators of small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). Ecology's
Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit is available on Ecology's website at
http://www.ecy.wa gov/programs/wcI/stonnwater/mur icipaVphase_II_ww/ww ph_i -permit htn l
The Permit allows municipalities to discharge stormwater runoff from municipal drainage systems into the
state's water bodies (e.g., streuns, rivers, lakes, wetlands) as long as municipalities implement programs to
protect water quality by reducing the discharge of "non-point source" pollutants to the "maximum extent
practicable" (MEP) through application of Permit-specified "best management practices" (BMPs), The BMPs
specified in the Permit are collectively referred to as the Storm-water Management Program (SWMP) and
grouped under the following Program components:
¦ Public Education and Outreach
¦ Public Involvement
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination

E:IAGEN DAM0317-7B.doc
1: Introduction City of Auburn 2008 SWMP
¦ Controlling Runoff from Development, Redevelopment, and Construction Sites
¦ Pollution Prevention an d Municipal Operation and Maintenance
• Monitoring
The Perrnit issued by Ecology became effective on February 16, 2007 and expires on February 15, 2012. The
Permit requires the City to report annually (March 31St of each year) on progress in SWMP implementation
for the previous year. The Permit also requires submittal of documentation that describes proposed SWMP
activities for the coming year. This document contains the City's proposed activities for 2008.
Implementation of various Permit conditions is staggered throughout the five-year Permit term from
February 16, 2007 through February 15, 2012. The Permit will be revised and reissued at the end of this
period.
1.3 City of Auburn Regulated Area
The Western Washington Phase 11 Pennit applies to operators of regulated small MS4s that discharge
stonnwater to waters of Washington State located west of the crest of the Cascade Range (west of the eastern
boundaries of Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, King, Pierce, Lewis and Skamaria counties). For cities, the
Permit requirements extend to those areas of each Citythat,drain to MS4s. Most of AubUrIl drains to MS4s
that ultimately discharge into the Green River, the White River, or Mill G-eek In addition, some portions of
the City drain to regional infiltration basins.
1.4 Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Compliance
The federal Clean Water Act requires that Ecology establish "Total Maxunum Daily Loads" (TMDL) for
rivers, streauns, lakes, and marine waters that don't meet water quality standards. A TMDL is a calculation of
the maximum amount of a pollutant that a water body can receive acid still meet water quality standards.
After the TMDL has been calculated for a given water body, Ecology determines how much each source
must reduce its discharges of the pollutant in order bring the water body back into compliance with the water
quality standards. The Clean Water Act requires that TMDL requirements must be included in the NPDES
permits for dischargers into the affected water bodies.
Stormwater discharges covered under this permit are required to implement actions necessary to achieve the
pollutant reductions called for u1 applicable TMDLs. Applicable TMDLs are those approved bythe EPA
before the issuance date of the Permit or which have been approved bythe EPA prior to the date the
permittee's application was received' by Ecology. Information on Ecology's TMDL program is available on
Ecology's website at wv?,w.ecywa.gov/programs/wq/tmdl.
The current permit does not contain any TMDL requirements for the City of Auburn. However, Ecology
has identified several water bodies that do not appear to meet the water quality standards. If Ecology
establishes TMDLs for one or more of these water bodies prior to 2012, the next version of the Permit may
contain additional requirements specified in the TMDL.
1.5 SWMP Implementation Responsibilities
The Utilities Engineering Division in the Public Works Department will be coordinating the overall
administration of efforts to comply with Permit requirements. The work plan tables in each Chapter provide
the lead departments for the associated task Other major departments/divisions included in the 2008 SWMP
implementation include Maintenance and Operations (M&O), Communications and Multimedia, Human
Resources (HR), development Engineering, Permit Center, Information services (IS), and Parks.

activities for 2008.
6.1 Permit Requirements
The Permit (Section S5.C.4) requires the City to:
¦ Develop, implement, and enforce a program to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff (i.e., illicit
discharges) to the municipal separate storm sewer system from new development, redevelopment, and
construction site activities. The program must applyto both private and public projects, including
roads, and address all construction/development-associated pollutant sources.
¦ Adopt regulations (codes and standards) and implement plan review, inspection, and escalating
enforcement SOPS necessary to nnplement the program in accordance with Permit conditions,
including the minimum technical requirements in Appendix 1 of the Permit.
¦ Provide provisions and (plan review, inspection, and enforcement) SON to allow non-structural
preventive actions and ;ource reduction approaches such as Low Impact Development techniques,
measures to minimize the creation of impervious surfaces, and measures to minimize the disturbance
of native soils and vegetation.
¦ Adopt regulations (codes uid standards) and provide provisions to verify adequate long-term
operations and maintenance of new post-construction pennanent stormwater facilities and BMPs in
accordance with Permit conditions, including an annual inspection frequency and/or approved
alternative inspection frequency and maintenance standards for private drainage systems as protective
as those in Chapter IV of the 2005 Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western

8. MONITORING
This section describes the Permit requirements related to water quality monitoring, including descriptions of
the City's current and planned compliance activities for 2008.
8.1 Permit Requirements
The Permit (Section S8) does not require municipalities to conduct water quality sampling or other testing
during this permit teen, with the following exceptions:
• Sampling or testing required for characterizing illicit discharges pursuant to they S\VMP's IDDE
conditions.
¦ Water quality monitoring required for compliance -with Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
conditions (water quality clean. up plans). The current Permit does not require that Auburn perform
TMDL-related monitoring because Ecology has not established TMDLs for water bodies that receive
storinwater runoff from the City.
¦ Preparing future comprehensive, long-term water quality monitoruig plan including two components:
1) stormwater monitoring and 2) targeted Stormwater Management Program effectiveness monitoring.
¦ By the 4th Annual Compliance Report (March 31, 2011), Auburn is required to identify two outfalls
where permanent .stormwater sampling stations can be installed and operated for future monitoring.
The City is also required to develop plans to monitor stormR ater, sediment, and receiving water for
physical, chemical, and/or biological characteristics. One outfall must represent high-density
residential land use, and the other commercial land use:
¦ To monitor SWW effectiveness, the City will need to identify two suitable Prograni questions and
sites where targeted Program effectiveness monitoring can be conducted and develop a monitoring
plan for these questions <urd sites. The proposed effectiveness monitoring is required to answer the
following types of questions:
• How 'effective is a specific targeted action or a narrow suite of actions?
• Is the Stormwater Management Program achieving a targeted environmental outcome?
In addition, the City is required to provide the following monitoring and/or assessment data in each annual
report:
¦ A description of any stormwater monitoring or studies conducted by the City during the reporting
period. If stormwater monitoring was conducted on behalf of the City, or if studies or investigations
conducted by other entities were reported to the City, a brief description of the type of information
gathered or received shall be included in the annual report.
• An assessment of the appropriateness of the best management practices identified by the City for each
component of the SWMP; and any changes made, or anticipated to be made, to the BMPs that were
previously selected to implement the SWMP and why.
